The Oberlin College Observatory is located atop Peters Hall at
the center of Oberlin College campus. Peters Hall was built in
the 1880's and the dome was installed in 1929 along with a
Gaertner 6 inch f:15 refractor telescope. We currently have a
14" Meade LX 200 in the dome, and are also capable of deploying
a number of telescopes on piers on the observing deck on the
south side of the dome. The observatory is actively used for
introductory astronomy classes, for individual student projects,
by the Oberlin Astronomy Club, and for public viewing sessions.
